Topic: Quoting a post to new message (Read 2904 times)

Would someone please help me with this...I'm becoming a bit more savy with computer things and would enjoy being able to use this tool.How do I add a post from another page into my current post I am creating...you know, the pink shaded box that will be someone else's message that I now am inserting into my text. Above my message and also anywhere along in my message where I would like to insert one. I think that is so cool! Thank you.Bob

The 2 most important commands in windows (Mac-heads are on their own):

Ctrl + C copies to clip boardctrl + V pastes from clip board

Bonus: ctrl + X copies to clipboard and erases from current window.

So, find the post, highlight the address line at top, press and hold the ctrl key, then hit the c key. Change windows to the post you are working on, place the curser where you want it and hold the ctrl key and hit the v key. Done!

Thanks so much Tom. I have no problem with the quote button when I am on that page/post. I think you have just given me the "keys" to unlock my containment. I will experiment with this tonight, thanks again!
